A Stranger in the Epididymis: Ectopic Spleen

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF UROLOGICAL SURGERY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4

Abstract

Splenogonadal fusion, which can be clinically confused with testicular neoplasms as they present with testicular swelling, is a rare abnormality in young adults. Intraoperative frozen section analysis can be helpful in diagnosing such cases and preventing unnecessary orchiectomies. We report a case in which frozen section analysis was done and testis-sparing surgery could be performed.
